The best proposal I've seen so far is to apply it to all recently-modified pages (with 'recent' determined per project by how fast you think the editors will get it cleaned up - probably a day or so is reasonable). That assumes that it will get cleaned up before the timeout expires, and prevents it from being visible to a robot in the interim. But links that survive for a while still become rankable. And it's fairly simple, unlike tracking, per-link, whether or not it has been verified.
Although this *seems* simple, the database request needed to determine "how old is this page" [snip]
This should not be an issue since this query is already made, look at the bottom of any page on any wikimedia project, you'll see something like " This page was last modified 00:05, 5 Feb 2005."
